Can't it be shut down for the night? I am busy as hell fighting elsewhere tonight and not in the mood for the fun this thread provides. If it were not my thread I would unsubscribe from it, but now they have my fighting side up. I even had one of those jerks hint that he hoped or thought the doctor I was seeing today was a mortician. See how dumb they really are? Morticians do not require a Medical Degree, probably not even a high school diploma.

Here's a good OT topic- wives and tools.
I don't know about the rest of you fine fellas in here, but I keep my tools organized neatly so that when I go to my toolbox, I don't have to rifle around to find what I need. Wrenches are organized small to large (metric and standard separately) in one drawer, screwdrivers are the same way (only one side is flat and the other is Philips) in another drawer. All my sockets and extensions are on rails and organized by drive size and SAE or metric (point the rail handles opposite ways) in their own drawer. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. You can walk up and grab what you need with ease.
So tonight I ask my wife to get me a socket and ratchet so I can take the blade off the lawnmower to sharpen it. When I go to put my tools away, it looks like a friggin' hurricane hit my toolbox! Sockets, wrenches, even screwdrivers all over the place... WTF? I don't know why she even messed around in the screwdriver drawer, she didn't need anything in there!
Is this phenomenon isolated to only me, or are other wifes the same way?

Some of us have more sense than to ask our wives to fetch a tool for them in a properly organized tool box. Well really in any tool box at all. Maybe if I had a vehicle fall off of the jack stands and I was squished I would try and get her to jack it up for me, if the 911 number was busy.

We used a flexible tripod. The reason for the slow down was simply due to it being a first run and we were running out fo road. Going to do that one over again and change a couple of things. The next one will be full on all the way.

It's not just you. It's kind of like gravity. Just one of those laws of nature. I believe they do it on purpose so you quit asking them. My 19 year old daughter is figuring this out now. Some days I can ask her for a 9/16 wrench and she'll bring it to me. Some days she doesn't remember what a wrench is or where I keep them.
